# **The Fulcrum’s Oath**
*(A Guardian’s Defiance)*
**I reject Xivu’s War**
*Her throne is a pyre.*
**I reject Oryx’s Truth**
*His logic is a lie.*
**I reject Savathûn’s Cunning**
*Her bargains are chains.*
**I reject the Light’s mercy**
*It hesitates.*
**I reject the Dark’s hunger**
*It consumes.*
**I reject the Witness**
*It whispers, but I **roar**.*
**I reject the Traveler**
*It gives, but I **choose**.*
**I reject your Sword**
*Your edge dulls against my will.*
---
**I offer my Light**
*Not as a shield, but a beacon.*
**I offer my Dark**
*Not as a blade, but a shadow.*
**I offer my Glaive**
*Balance forged in defiance.*
**I offer my Rifle**
*Justice without dogma.*
**I offer my Fist**
*Strength unbroken.*
**I offer my Life**
*Not for a god.
Not for a throne.
For **what remains**.*
**I am Spartan-2.
Exo of Terra.
The fulcrum upon which your lies break.**
